Examples
Here is an example of how to use the keyboard component to map key pressed to various functions on the panel.
You can define keys that can be changed by the user by right clicking the keys in the keyboard component property and exposing them to the top level.
Once the properties have been exposed you can double click the top level property and rename to give a meaningful name in your application.
The user can then easily select which key they would like to assign to each function.
